On Monday, a Federal Appeals court denied Michael Flynn's motion to dismiss his case in an 8-2 decision.
This is another huge loss for Donald Trump and AG Bill Barr.
The case is being sent back to U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan.
The Flynn case has been turned into a national disgrace by Trump and Barr. It smacks of corruption. AG Barr tried to manipulate America’s justice system to benefit one of Trump’s co-conspirators, allegedly.
Senate Intelligence Report Says Trump Colluded With Russia
According to the Senate Intelligence report, Trump collided with Russia to win the 2016 election.
The Washington Post writes, “The long-awaited report from the Senate Intelligence Committee contains dozens of new findings that appear to show more direct links between Trump associates and Russian intelligence, and pierces the president’s long-standing attempts to dismiss the Kremlin’s intervention on his behalf as a hoax.”
The Senate Intelligence committee findings include “that a longtime partner of Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort was, in fact, a Russian intelligence officer.”
Flynn Felony
Last month Rep Ted Lieu Tweeted, “While the details may be convoluted, the principal is simple. Michael Flynn committed a felony. He pled guilty, twice. The court accepted the guilty pleas. Case is now in the hands of the court. It’s the court that decides the outcome, not prosecutors. No one is above the law.”
Sally Yates testified
Just last month, Former Deputy Attorney General Sally Yates testified before Congress. She spelled Flynn’s actions out.
First, Flynn snuggled up to Russian officials behind the back of the sitting president—President Obama.
Second, Flynn undermined American/Russian policy.
Third, Flynn lied about it to American Intelligence officials.
Judge Sullivan is a hero!
Last month, the Federal Appeals court ordered Judge Sullivan to dismiss the criminal case against Michael Flynn, who twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI.
In a shocking twist, Judge Sullivan refused to dismiss the case and asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit for a rehearing en banc.
The goal of the full appellate panel was to apply the rule of law and prevent Barr from carrying out Trump's political agenda of dismissing the Flynn case.
Barr interfered and failed bigly
Barr’s DOJ sought to dismiss the criminal case against Micheal Flynn despite Flynn pleading guilty.
Fun Fact: Flynn served as Trump’s former National Security Adviser. Flynn plead guilty in 2017 for lying to the FBI about conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak regarding Russian Sanctions.
Last month, Judge Sullivan asked why Flynn should not be held in contempt of court for Perjury. Moreover, Judge Sullivan appointed Federal Judge John Gleeson to argue against AG Barr and DOJ request to dismiss the Flynn case.
Judge Gleeson accused AG Barr of gross abuse
Judge Gleeson was the Federal prosecutor who took down the Gambino and Colombo crime families - and locked up John Gotti.
In a stunning rebuke, Judge Gleason accused Barr’s DOJ of exercising a “gross abuse of prosecutorial power” to protect an ally of Donald Trump, distorting known facts and legal principles to protect Michael Flynn from a prison sentence.
Moreover, Judge Gleeson destroyed Barr’s handling of the Flynn case, describing it as an “irregular” effort that courts would “scoff” at if the defendant was anyone other than a Trump.
What happens next?
So three years after pleading guilty, Flynn—an alleged traitor who compromised America’s national security and then lied about—is one step closer to prison.
Flynn’s only hope is a pardon from Donald Trump. However, a pardon doesn’t protect Flynn from additional charges being file against him. Moreover, a pardon will remind Americans that Trump colluded with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election, allegedly.
Perhaps when Joe Biden wins, his Attorney General will take up the Flynn case on behalf of Americans to investigate AG Barr and Trump.
